Of the many, many games I have seen this year, The Witcher 3 stands out as just ridiculously ambitious, as I explained in this article. If you want to get a handle on just what a challenge CD Projekt’s Polish RPG commandos have set for themselves, you should take a look at the presentation they gave at the Eurogamer Expo last weekend. I’m not saying this game is definitely going to flatten the RPG opposition in the coming years – because they are biting off what only a monster can truly chew – but I can’t see any other icebergs as ominous or as enormous as this one

The Witcher 2 is one of the most overrated games in the last few years. It's a decent game but not a very good RPG at all, the praise for it is awfully misleading. Hopefully the third game actually lives up to the hype, simply providing an open world won't do that but I suppose it will help to some extent.
